This week’s personal development challenge throws us in to the fourth pillar of Self-Esteem: The Practice of Self-Assertiveness – from the Book The Six Pillars Of Self-Esteem By Nathaniel Branden. That means we are all about standing up for ourselves;
“Self-assertiveness means honoring my wants, needs, and values and
seeking appropriate forms of their expression in reality…
… Self-assertion does not mean belligerence or inappropriate aggressiveness; it does not mean pushing to the front of the line or knocking other people over; it does not mean upholding my own rights while being blind or indifferent to everyone else’s. It simply means the willingness to stand up for myself, to be who I am openly, to treat myself with respect in all human encounters. It means the refusal to fake my person to be liked.”
(Branden, 1995, p.118)

And on the weekend. after rereading the week’s stems, write six to ten endings for If any of what I have been writing is true, it might be helpful if I-.
Of course there are other ways to work with these stems. In my self-esteem groups, for instance, we might work with all the stems on this list in one three-hour session, speaking our endings aloud, then discussing our endings and their action-implications”
Good luck Guys, and if there are any questions – just write them in the comments section below!
